Call to Fifers to make sure their homes are energy efficient

The call comes from the Home Energy Scotland

A recent survey revealed that 70% of people in Scotland feel concerned about energy bills rising, with almost two thirds using more energy than usual during the first 12 months of the pandemic.

It also found 59% of Scots have noticed a worrying rise in their energy bills already.

Jamie Gray, advice centre manager for Home Energy Scotland in the South East said; “It is now vital to get things sorted so that heating costs aren’t such a worry when next winter comes.

"The good news is there is a lot of help available and summer is the best time to access it.”

The Scottish Government’s Warmer Homes Scotland programme provides home improvements like home insulation, secondary glazing or a new heating system worth around £5000.
